Accompanied by a rather unorthodox party that consists of an elven mage, human priest, a dark elf ranger, and a friendly orc, can Maddy and the others set aside their differences for the greater good?

It's nearly been 900 days since the Siege of Leningrad began, but the city's liberation is at hand thanks to Vitali's modified armed tank. He'll have to collaborate with the uptight acting Commander Dubov's lackies, however, and there's no telling if they'll be willing to play nice with his secret project. Will Vitelli be able to find common ground with his Soviet "comrades," or is this surprise assault on Leningrad already destined to fail?

The situation is all but dire in 1940s Europe, and Ukranian soldier Vitali has a front row seat to one of mankind's most historical conflicts, World War 2. After losing his commander and being reprehended by the bureaucratic higher ups, Vitali has had it up to here with this terrible war. All he wants to do is be left in peace so he can work mockup some fun designs with the scraps left over by tanks and the like. Low and behold, the young tank engineer should learn to be careful of what he wishes for. It very well might come true.

The crew returns for its 9th, and final, season of the SFN Podcast :(.

• Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon

Show Notes

Colossus Rising: Torth Book 2

Prince of Persia: the Lost Crown

World War 2 Ukranian military engineer Vitali is making the closest thing to a mech suit. While simple in design, it could very well turn the tide of the war for his country during one of its most dire hours. He'll have to face a different sort of battle before he even gets an opportunity to see his mocked-up T-34 tank taken to the frontlines, however: his own command.

SHOW NOTES:

Apprentice Gone: Rampant Dawn Book 1

The Bad Batch: Season 3

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth

Dune: Part 2

This Nerdy Chat discussion faces an extremely thin line, given the key different-yet-inevitable-correlation between stories that are designed to help audiences take a break from reality in the form of escapism as opposed to those that have an underlying message concerning society.

The 2023 Holiday Season is among us, and that means it's time for the SFN Crew to wrap this year up with one final EpiXode before they go on their Holiday Break. The authors leave with some exciting news with personal project updates, and the entire squad offers a plethora of nerdy items to keep you busy until the next meetup.

Abby was a guest on the Power To Pivot Podcast, where she shares her journey of going from a pro in the gaming industry to becoming a published author.

Scott served as a publisher for a gnarly story about a 15-year-old who just recently discovered that she's a shape shifter.

Abby started a wild military sci-fi where humanity finds itself stuck in the middle of a war between alien herbivore and carnivore factions amid the "Nature of Predators."

Scott has a final verdict on the first season of Blue-Eyed Samurai while doing a Netflix binge.

Raphyel and Erik offer high praise for Godzilla: Minus One, Baldur's Gate 3, while splurging in other games.
